Some reckless boys turned over the
water barrels on Wednesday night, which
had been placed by many of our mer.
chants in front of their stores for use in
case of fire. The act is that of either d
foolish, incOnsiderate boy or man. or a
miscreant. If the former, We trust tina,
a word of warning will cause them never
to repeat the act; if the latter. sooner OF
later the officers will get on their track.
and justice be melted out to them In
case of fire, an immediate supply of wat
er ought to be on hand, and the best
method of keeping such supply is by
means of these barrels. For bows, or
worse yet, men. to deliberately go along
turning this supply of water out into the
street, with no purpose in view except
mischief. is both inconsiderate. and. view
ed in its proper light, despicable If there
was any fun in it. some excuse might be
made; but such an act is not funny in
any way. Colby people all work togeth-
er for the public interest. and surely none
of our older citizens would do the act
complained of. If We are SO unfortunate
as to have some persons in our midst.
who are mean euough to do acts of this
kind, the sooner they are known and
watched the safer will our interests be.

What a Time

People formerly had. trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film Of
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what a contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums" only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at q dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
J. T. Teller, NJ. D., of Chittenango,
n. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. he
says: ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and l think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
of DR.. George E. Walker, of Martins
Vile, Virginia.
Ayers Pills outsell all similar prep
ara:ions. The public having once used
them, will have no others. - Berry,

A Most Senseless Boom.

Enterprise: What the people who are
now buying property over in California
are to live on in a little time, does not sp-
pear. The superstition lie that after all the
land is sold that ia for sale, those who have
bought it are to chew the ragged end of
the boom for . livelihood. We learn of
the establishment OF no manufactures or
anything Of that kind. All appear TO ex-
pect to live of the building of cottages,
hotels and the like. For example we
are told of San Diego Is follows: lone
million four hundred and sixty-three
thousand four hundred dollars is now be.
ing expended in the city. of San Diego for
cottages, mansions, blocks and hotels,
and more than q million dollars for public
improvements of all kinds, including
those of National City and suburbs"

Here are people rushing into q town and
buying lots of ground upon which to live
without the slightest thought of business
or Of how q living is to be made wher
their money is gone. Could We hear o.
the establishment OF g~lsssworks, paper

AIR As A P~ULVER1ZER.

Erastus Wiman, of New York, has
concluded to purchase from Raymond
Brothers, the inventors. all the i'm.
provements upon the pulverizer which
SOM time ago he investigated at Mon.
treal, and which, it is claimed, illustrates
an entirely new principle in mechanics
growing out Of the application of the
natural principle developed in a cyclone.
The results show that iron Stag can be
reduced to powder, and that other re.
fractory substances can be treated with
equal facility. Tests are at once to be
made with machines ready for the pur-
pose in various parts of the country on
ores. fertilizers and various other articles
of commerce, which, if successful, it is
claimed, will revolutionizs the present
mode of grinding and pulyerizing. A
test made with a half barrel Of nails
showed the iron ground into the finest
powder without the aid of tooth, stamp
or roller. and with nothing but air.
